DESCRIPTION (Adapted from the Investigator's Abstract): Graphical user interfaces are widespread in the field of genome informatics, and are considered key to the success of many application programs. Currently, a developer must choose between creating one from scratch, or working within large-scale, highly integrated systems that may impose monolithic designs and involve high start-up costs. The investigators are developing a toolkit for interface design based on the notion of a domain-specific widget set, where widgets are high level objects that are concerned exclusively with graphical display, hiding the details of placement, drawing, motion, interaction, etc. from the application programmer to the extent possible. Using the Tcl/Tk graphical user interface design system, the investigators have prototyped chromosome, map, and sequence widgets, as well as a number of dialogs and utilities that should promote the development of communicating small applications with a consistent "look and feel." The investigators propose to: improve existing widgets and dialogs, making them significantly more robust and versatile; design new widgets, dialogs, utilities, and database interfaces to support a wider range of applications; reimplement for efficiency and compatibility, creating a compiled and highly tuned widget set for UNIX, Macintosh, and PC platforms, as well as additional software environments including the WWW; create applications in collaboration with biologists, as demonstrations and to drive widget design; and support and archive widgets, dialogs, utilities, and applications in a repository for software sharing.

描述（改编自调查员的摘要）：图形用户 界面在基因组信息学领域广泛，并且是 被认为是许多应用程序成功的关键。 目前， 开发人员必须在从头开始创建一个或在内部工作 大规模高度集成的系统可能会施加整体设计 并涉及高启动成本。 调查人员正在开发工具包 对于基于域特异性小部件概念的接口设计， 小部件是高级对象，仅关注 图形显示，隐藏位置，绘图，运动的细节， 互动等。从应用程序程序员尽可能多。 使用TCL/TK图形用户界面设计系统，研究人员 具有原型的染色体，地图和序列小部件，以及一个数字 对话和公用事业应促进发展的 以一致的“外观和感觉”进行小型应用程序。 这 调查人员建议：改进现有的小部件和对话，使其 明显更健壮和多功能；设计新的小部件，对话， 实用程序和数据库界面，以支持更广泛的应用程序范围； 重新进化以提高效率和兼容性，创建一个编译和高度的 调谐的小部件设置为UNIX，MACINTOSH和PC平台以及 包括www在内的其他软件环境；创建应用程序 与生物学家合作作为示范和推动小部件设计； 以及支持和存档小部件，对话，实用程序和应用程序 用于软件共享的存储库。
